`Hi, my name is Jolene I am a sweet lovebug who loves to be near you. Although I am almost a year old, I have no experience with much of the world. Everything is new and some things can be scary. I do not like automatic doors. They move too fast and I get scared. I really love food. And treats. And whatever you are eating. Plus, whatever I can find in the yard. I like to pick up and chew on rocks and sticks, just be careful I don`t swallow anything I shouldn`t I love my stuffed animals. I really enjoy pulling the stuffing out and finding the squeaker. I do not eat the stuffing, but I should be watched. I am slowly getting the hang of going Outside to do my business, but any loud noise may make me nervous. Please be patient with me. I quickly caught on to sitting when I want a treat after going outside. I understand No, and Get Down when I climb on the table and try to see what is on the counter. I am also getting used to my crate. I am in the crate overnight for bedtime, and while my first adopter was at work. In the morning, I will whine when I need to be let out to go Outside. I am still getting the hang of walking on a leash, but again, any loud noise, my startle me. Please make sure you have a firm grasp on me leash. I would do well in a fenced yard. I like meeting new people and hope you will be able to give me love, training, and patience in my new home.`
Thanks to a generous donor, my adoption fee has been reduced to $50
